     ParkerVision to Exit Retail Operations and Focus as an OEM Supplier of
                    Integrated Circuits for Wireless Devices


       Conference Call Scheduled for 4:30 PM ET on Tuesday, June 28, 2005

JACKSONVILLE, FL June 28, 2005, - ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq NMS: PRKR),
announced today that it is exiting its retail business activities and plans to
continue its pursuit of an OEM business strategy as a pure-play fabless
semiconductor company. Exiting the retail business is expected to reduce the
company's cash utilization rate by approximately 25%-35% going forward and will
also require taking charges to the company's second quarter operating results.
The company has estimated the total charge to be between $4.5 and $5.7 million
of which approximately $3.8 to $5.0 million are non-cash. The nature of the
charges includes impairment to inventory and other retail assets, staff
reduction, and other related charges.

Jeffrey L. Parker, the Chief Executive Officer of ParkerVision commented, "Based
on feedback we've received from both consumers and retailers alike, our retail
strategy was successful in achieving an important goal for the company - namely,
proving that our digital wireless technology brought the benefits to consumer
products that we predicted, and establishing the reliability of our D2D(TM)
technology. From a financial standpoint, however, the chasm between showcasing
the benefits of our technology in finished products to creating shareholder
value in a retail model can only be bridged by making significant additional
investment in brand awareness campaigns, retail channel expansion, inventory
commitments and human resources. We believe to make such an investment in
capital and resources at this time would severely detract from our ability to
capitalize on the OEM opportunities that are now within our reach. We also
believe that these OEM opportunities provide a much better leverage point for
attaining significant revenue growth, favorable product margins and
profitability for our shareholders.



"Our new digital ultra-efficient power amplifiers, which we call
Direct-to-RF-Power(TM) (D2P), have been extremely well received by the OEM
community. The interest from our OEM prospects has reached a level where we
believe it is clear that the greatest shareholder value can be achieved in the
least amount of time by exclusively pursuing OEM opportunities as aggressively
as possible and becoming a significant component supplier to OEMs that build
high volume wireless products. Our initial D2P IC designs are applicable to
battery powered, portable wireless devices such as cellular phones, wireless
networking devices, cordless phones and Bluetooth devices. The preliminary
success of our D2P initiative has also resulted in a renewal of interest by OEM
prospects in our original D2D based ICs. We believe our product development
efforts for the retail market will ultimately be leveraged through our product
offerings to OEMs.

"We are very appreciative of the contributions by our employees, distributors,
retailers, and other partners who have supported our retail efforts and we will
work with our current retail partners over the next several weeks to execute on
our retail exit strategy in a controlled and equitable manner," concluded
Parker.
